Tuesday with Valerie and a 4-Wheelin' Postcard

Happy Tuesday!

Today I'm excited to share a project made for a postcard swap
featuring Stampotique stamps designed by Roc Nicholas.
The theme was "Hearts"... mine are little but they are there!  

Thanks for visiting today!

Stamps by Stampotique Originals:
Squiggle Arms, Scooter Girl, Just Be U, Stacked Boxes, In Stitches

“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.” 

Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

hello baby girl!

Considering how CAS this card is, it used a lot of different stamp images!!   I'm not a big card maker, mainly because I have to keep my hands clean - that's one of the reason's one of Roc's birds is sitting on the bunting!!

Stampotique Stamps Used:

Alphabitties  #6010  by Jill Penney and Daniel Torrente 

Banner  #10001  by France Papillon

Barcode Text  #10020  by France Papillon

Unleash Yourself Text  #2431  Roc Nicholas

Just Be U  #2422  Roc Nicholas

When I saw that Roc, Val and Janet had all used Roc Nicholas's just be u image I thought it might be fun to use it too, and continue demonstrating how versatile just one stamp can be!

 .  

I sprayed a scrapling with Dylusions inks then stamped Daniel's hearts in the background before adding just be u in black ink.  I then stamped this again on some book paper, cut out the larger letters and added them to the scrapling.

I used Val's idea of blocking in the shadow and if you look carefully, you can see some added sparkle on the letters ( I used metallic gold thread in my sewing machine).  The little bird was paper pieced from some scrap painted paper.

Stamps used:

Daniel's hearts by Daniel Torrente

Thanks to my fellow teamies for the inspiration for my project this week, and for the lovely, kind comments you've been leaving

Tuesday with Val and a Postcard

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a postcard to share.

It features stamps designed by Roc Nicholas
(as well as a few in the background that are harder to see in this pic).

Is that bird playing a dangerous game of hide and seek?

Thanks for stopping by!

Val :)

Stamps by Stampotique Originals:
Feline, Just Be U, Heart Vine, Scalloped Lace Border,
Jo's Flower Block, Vintage Script, Vintage Postcard

The background has been created with vibrant colors of Dylusions sprays.  Feline has been stamped on patterned paper and plain paper.  The colorful parts of the cat have been colored with Copics on the plain image and then cut out and applied to the patterned paper cat.  Just Be U has ben stamped on other papers made with Dylusions sprays and then cut out and applied to the background with Feline above it.  The border has been stamped on patterned paper, painted with white acrylic paint, cut out and applied to the edge of the card.  The word Just and the Heart Vine have been stamped directly on the background and colored with Copic markers.  Unseen background stamps have been stamped on the background paper with Versamark ink and brushed over with Perfect Pearls to make them shimmer in the light (pretty in person).  Faux stitches have been drawn around the edge to provide a border and finish off the piece.
